Why not just get the 1.8T, or even the 2.3 V5? Both will be just as cheap to buy, and perfectly rapid straight out the box.

^^ I think you'll find the OP was thinking about a different sort of Toldedo

whoops,..starting to drift,......

could become a toldildo.

Before you do any of that, get some insurance quotes to see what a modified Toledo/Dolly is going to stiff you for; you may be unpleasantly surprised.

I've got a tax exempt 3 door shell if you're interested?

Very rare those!

Yep, I know...

I've also got a well tuned Sprint engine, a close ratio 'box and an LSD - but not enough time to put it all together

http://forum.triumphdolomite.co.uk will be your friend here. If you do want to sell you'll get a good price - everybody knows what stuff is worth.

Thanks Dave. I think I'll hang on to all the running gear for now as I've also got a rust free Sprint shell it could go in - an even rarer thing!

It just seems a shame to leave the Toledo shell around.
